The Physics of Explosive Volcanic Eruptions includes seven review papers that outline our current understanding of several aspects of the physical processes affecting magma during volcanic eruptions. An introductory chapter highlights research areas where our understanding is incomplete, or even completely lacking, and where work needs advancing if our· knowledge of volcanic processes is to be substantially improved.
The book covers topics on the physical properties of silicic magma, vesiculation processes, conduit flow and fragmentation, gas loss. from· magmas during eruption, models of volcanic eruption columns, tephra dispersal and pyroclastic density currents.
